Question

Multiply 5.5395 by factors of 10, 100, and 1000.

Answer 1

I) 55.395

ii) 553.95

iii) 5539.5

Explanation:

If we multiply 5.5395 by 10, the decimal point moves forward once

`5.5395 * 10 = 5.5395 * {10}^(1) = 55.395`

If we multiply by 100, the decimal point moves forward 2 times.

`5.5395 * 100 = 5.5395 * {10}^(2) = 553.95`

If we multiply 5.5395 by 1000, the decimal point moves forward three times.

`5.5395 * 1000 = 5.5395 * {10}^(3) = 5539.5`
